Why Units?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Units provides your users with an intuitive way to choose and display their preferred unit of measurement. The user's preferred unit of measurement is saved via session, cookie, or none \u2013 configurable under the plugin settings.<\/p>\n\n

Any number of primary\/alternate units can be added, along with their conversion formulas.<\/p>\n\n

Visit unitswitcher.com<\/a> for more detailed information.<\/p>\n\n

Using Units<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Add primary units under Settings > Units. Alternate units may be added by providing their name and conversion formula. Multiple alternate units may be added for each primary unit.<\/p>\n\n

Use the function unit_switcher($value, $primaryunit, $round)<\/code> in your template to display the switcher. Pass the stored value as the first parameter and primary unit of measurement as the second value.<\/p>\n\n

To display a single switcher, the shortcode [unit_switcher] is available for use. The shortcode requires two parameters: unit<\/code> (the primary unit being converted) and value<\/code> (the stored value).<\/p>\n\n

For more information visit unitswitcher.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Important: Unit Switcher requires WordPress version 3.8 or higher, and PHP version 5.3.2 or higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Is this plugin WPML compatible?<\/dt>\n

    The plugin is not yet WPML compatible.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I add a unit of measurement?<\/dt>\n

    Visit Settings > Unit Switcher. A primary unit of measurement is required, along with at least one alternate unit. Substitute the primary unit with X<\/code> in the formula to equal the alternate formula. So, to set an alternate unit of inches<\/code> for a primary unit of feet<\/code>, the formula should be set to X*12<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
